About
ESAF Foundation

ESAF Foundation began its journey in 1992 in a modest home named ‘Little’ in Mannuthy, Kerala’s Thrissur district, with a simple yet profound belief: every individual, regardless of circumstance, holds the potential to shape their own destiny. Rooted in faith and driven by a commitment to service and innovation, this vision has guided ESAF for over three decades. Throughout our history, ESAF Foundation has pioneered financial inclusion, empowered grassroots changemakers, and fostered enterprise driven solutions that create lasting opportunities for underserved communities. Today, ESAF Foundation stands as a far-reaching organisation, impacting over 5.5 million lives across 13 Indian states.
